I think you are giving them too much credit. It is much, more likely they are desperate and are way out of their depth.

“And inflation is more electable...”
Ah, so you’re referring to Politicians. Yes, Politicians are very stupid, I don’t give them credit for anything. They don’t write, read or even care about the bills they pass. I’m not referring to politicians knowing what they’re doing, politicians are just the front men.
The real people behind the scenes are known by many names: lobbyists, high-end donors, handlers, etc. They’re the ones who in fact know what they’re doing. Not the “We have to pass it to find out what’s in it” crowd, but the ones who already know “what’s in it,” because, they wrote it.
